I was at this show, maybe 3-4 metres to the left of where whoever took this footage . I think a few things are hard to gauge from the video, yes this happened during the improvised spoken monologue in the song 'Wingwalker', but I am unsure as I think most people there were, along with Steve, what this was directed at in particular. I don't think it was this exact song, but sure, taken at face value, a lot of Albini's music has what you'd call pretty 'coarse' themes. He absolutely didn't leave stage though, absolute horseshit comment there. He didn't stop or not complete the song, and I don't think anyone would say it really derailed or interrupted the evening very much for a band that routinely invites themselves to be heckled. Again, not sure if the recording picks this up clearly, but after that was shouted out (presumably) at the band, a few guys closer up starting cheering and shouting stuff to the effect of 'invite her backstage Steve'. I would say that he looked magnitudes more uncomfortable at this heckle. There were a lot of real music blog type guys at the gig, which was I guess way bigger a thing in 2015. I was standing near a few yuppie types that were extolling Steve's work on records he didn't do, like Doolittle and I think the earlier Nirvana stuff. During the invitation to ask questions, when Steve retuned, there were a few slightly cringy questions with people trying to ask them about other alternative acts (I think Godspeed) which Bob Weston was pretty hilariously snappy about. If he didn't like a question he'd say 'Don't care' and move on. I think everyone, even the askers had a laugh at that. Another unusual thing I noticed was, hecklers aside, the audience was pretty mixed, with a lot of the front row below the camera line being shorter women, not that crazy but I guess interesting and maybe not immediately apparent given the context of this video. This was one of, if not the best gig I've been to. Very fun. I remember this incident but I wouldn't say it was too characteristic of the night. I would say the portion of the audience more interested in Steve's 90s alt rock producer credentials than the music he was playing were possibly more indicative of band/audience interactions.
How does an idiot bitch like that expect behaving like that to make anyone LESS sexist... ... ... sexist against women at least// women are allowed to be as sexist as they want to be against men, a legend like Steve Albini can't even get through his show without some brain dead twat blindly accusing him of sexism just for telling a story.
When I saw Shellac in Manchester (UK) in 2017 a heckler tried to tell him he had the drums mic'd up wrong. I believe it was an ironic heckling, but the look on his face was priceless.
I suppose with the situations in his life where this discussion would have some more "teeth" he means his 80s band being called rapeman with song names like for example "kim gordons panties" 😀 Don´t get me wrong, I view albini as some kind of semi god and I love the music of rapeman but that name is fucking ridiculous (and he´s aware of that, as he said in interviews)
The name came from a Manga. He just thought it was funny and didn't think his audience was dumb enough to think that the name of the band glorified such actions. He's also been in the limelight for most of his life and people grow and develop.
Whenever you're a genuine person and are honest with your lyrics and fanbase you're bound to piss off a few people. Especially in today's politically correct, everyone's a victim, culture.
he handled it okay but it irked him enough to walk off stage after a little sarcasm.. this guys faced lines of hecklers outside his shows. gutsy and everyday guy approach that doesnt sit well with more than one sjw..
Master Skeletor Were you there to see him walk off or something? In the video it seems they just continued playing where the monologue interlude ended. I assume he didn't want to seem dismissive which is why he addressed the accusation.
What the fuck does this have to do with "SJWs"?? You do realise he grew up listening to anarcho-punk bands like Crass, right? You gonna call them SJWs as well? Silly derp.
well yeah,hence why he said "I could think of several instances in my own personal history" et cetera. He's just saying that it was odd to have that conversation at that exact time,not that it didn't make sense to have that conversation at all.
Of course she meant generally. Steve is generally sexist. Men are generally sexist. Women are generally victims of sexism. These are all familiar tiresome assertions, but they still happen all the time, even in the most random of contexts.
There's a really good article online in which he discusses the reasons why he wrote his most controversial songs in the way that he did, it's very interesting
oooBUBU7ooo Thank you for sharing this! It cleared up a lot of questions I had concerning him. I've also shared this link with a couple of other users in different threads on this video who I thought may appreciate it, however I'm afraid I did't tag you correctly. Sorry, I find UA-cam mobile confusing...
He couldve been a great stand up but im glad he wasnt lol
feminazis are such professional; victims pure bullshit
UMMMM ACKSHUUALLLYYYYY
Fekn omg, this is fkn gold. My lost dark brother.
Rest in piss.
why ?
What's wrong with being sexy?
I don't get it What's sexist?
Rip
Was he heckling Abini about the child pornography thing?
TROLL, ALBINI genuinely apologised for that and you bring it up in the wake of his Death. You sad and gutless individual.
He's a sexist I am putty to Kim Deal
Hmmm Steve Albini has a really nice microphone 😋😇🫒
Just tell the bitch to shutup and move on.
Fuel for their self made fire
I can’t imagine how annoyed I’d be as an audience member if a fellow attendee tried to take the intensity out of a masterpiece like Wingwalker.
Steve is a guy that makes me value art.. I love his attitude !
T-posing and pushing the button.
push the button.
RIP Steve
RIP❤
He got fat but he's still the coolest punk rocker to me
False. Only thin punkrockers can be cool.
@@Koettnylle the man is dead now, show some respect. ironic that his weight probably contributed to his heart disease though
@@oo-ru5lt I was being ironic
@@oo-ru5lt how is that ironic
Grandmother Albini is the airplane baba yaga over NYC 2001
Nobody addressing the stupidity of feminism here
Perhaps its a sign we all agree it isn't stupid.
Heckler obviously doesn’t know how vicious Steve can get - he’s actually pretty tame here
He literally started the final big black concert by saying “I thought I told you to shut up”

That’s not sweat, those are all tears.
Bunch of BS self indulged dude. Stop trying to be so deep and shut the F up
that weirdo-asshole guitar strap has always been so cringey
Fucking epic response.

Hahahaha that’s so good
Typical try-hard for cheap merit. Lame for entertaining such a generic subhuman conduit of a counterfeit agenda
Nice word salad you got there. Want some ranch?
I find it quite shallow and pedantic
@@movimentodoscacos i thoth that was teh point🙊
I like how he engaged the audience and not glossed over them like so many artists do.
Turn your phone the other way
I wish Steve had gone into a rant about analog recording techniques using a multitrack session. hahaha
only albini gets away with this, but he's had the right idea all along.
Brilliant!

@@doodleydoo2369 Crap didn't think it was that straight forward.
@@upshitdownshit4200 I would say google it but the manga IS pretty messed up.
... and the story concludes with me saying the words, "the plane". Enters Bob Weston BRUMRUMRUMRUM.
Albini has heard and dealt with every possible heckle at this point in time.
There stands the coolest nerd ever born.
Indeed
King of thy Nerds, lol.
Pretty Much ✨
Never mess with a dude who wears a blue mechanic jumpsuit when recording bands
RIP
as a woman, i wish steve albini would clap my cheeks into the next dimension.
margot a good god... would that take place on a Plane??
I can’t stop thinking about this comment
As a man- ditto.
Hi, Steve here...I'm just enquiring about the cheek clapping. Are you genuine and is that a wish you still wish for?
Alright then
What song was this in relation too?
Wingwalker
It's a tune called "Women Are Inferior and Their Only Purpose Is to Serve Me (Steve Albini)".
Whenever you're a genuine person and are honest with your lyrics and fanbase you're bound to piss off a few people. Especially in today's politically correct, everyone's a victim, culture.
Steve seems to be very respectful of pronouns and understands privilege constructs. Just watch his interview with Ian mckaye
he handled it okay but it irked him enough to walk off stage after a little sarcasm.. this guys faced lines of hecklers outside his shows. gutsy and everyday guy approach that doesnt sit well with more than one sjw..
